I'm a non-medical person interested in medicine and technology and just recently learned about the micro-vascular issue of heart disease. I had been thinking of problems related to lack of blood flow that are insidious, and occur not only in the brain such as with 'silent' strokes, but areas that may only be seen in research but without clinical interventions. This particular video and others related to the topic are very interesting, thanks. Of course, once a person such as myself learns of the gravity of poor diet, the mind can run wild with the possibilities of what is considered normal aging is in fact an insidious disease. Luckily, I found the whole food-plant based diet and my total serum cholesterol dropped like a rock very quickly, as was my goal. That was 5 years ago and I don't bother checking it now. I keep on eye on my blood pressure. I previously would get cholesterol readings to flaunt on the web in the circles that discuss the benefits of the whole food-plant based diet. However, even with blood draw there is risk. It is not necessary for me personally now. As doctor John Mcdougall, author of Starch Solution, has discussed in his CZcams videos and in his extensive writings on his websites, there is at least some bit of what he calls disease mongering in the US medical system. I am not overly suspicious of doctors but understand some procedures and ideas are unduly influenced by monetary benefit. At this time, I make sure I 'turn off the faucet' causing disease so that doctors don't have to 'mop up' the symptoms of my previously bad habits. That is a figure of speech that has been used by Dr. Dean Ornish in one of his books related to good diet and reversal of some disease.
Glad to see something new on this and on You Tube! I have been diagnosed and am fighting this disease. It's tough when docs are un-aware and un-educated on this subject. Treatment has a long way to go to get a function of life back for many with this disease.
Coronary Microvascular Disease is in need of more and more information wide spread about its clinical presentations and the need for timely treatment. It is NOT to be dismissed. For those interested in private support, there is a private support group on Facebook- simply message the name Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction
